Alu car bonnet, polish to a shine, process help!
Discussion
Hello.
I have ordered a new bonnet for my MX5 Mk3. It's aluminium and will arrive unpainted apart from black primer. I have a silver car and painting just the bonnet will be £250, around £400+ to blend in the wings.
What I'm thinking of doing is polishing the bonnet using a polisher, gritty polish and gradually getting to a shine.
Has anyone done this before, if so what are the steps and once done will it need sealing or left as bare aluminium? Tips, images, process help would be great!
